Two District
Track Tiffs
On Saturday
District meets, the competi
tion which decides who enters
the state track session at Cor
vallis are next on the schedule
for Class A and B high schools
of southern Oregon.
Class A district rivalry will
be held at Ashland next Satur
day. At the same time B schools
of the area will contend at Med
ford senior high's oval.
The Black Tornado of Med
ford is the heavy favorite to take
team honors in the A school fuss
but qualifying men for state will
be the main objective rather than
team points. Medford is expect
ed to gain a good share of state
meet berths. Rogue River looms
strong in the Class B tussle here.
Unbeaten in any competition
this year, Medford polished off a
dual meet foe, Klamath Falls,
at Klamath on Saturday 87 Vi to
34i.
Swept Four Events
The Tornado swept four events
from the Pelicans, the mile, the
half-mile, the 220-yard dash and
the broad jump. Firsts were won
in seven other events, seconds
in two and thirds in four.
Hurdle times by Medford's
Wally Larson were highlights of
the meet. His :20.1 in the lows is
thought to be the best so far this
season in Oregon prep circles
while his :15 flat in the high's
ties for second best. Mike Haw
kins, Medford, fourth man in the
race, was clocked in :20.7 in the
lows. Scott Hancock, Klamath,
and Bron Oglesby, Medford,
were second and third.
Richie Curtis, Roosevelt, Port
land, skimmed the highs in :14.9
last week end in a dual meet
while Lynn Roumagoux, Cleve
land, was clocked in :15 in an
other tangle.
Neither of Medford's top
quarter-milsrs ran at Klamath.
Don Crowl-had a leg ailment
and Pete Kershaw did not make
the trip. Lew Breazeale, Torna
do pole vaulter, was sidelined
with a turned ankle. Both Crowl
and Breazeale are' expected to be
ready for the district scuffle

Two Experts
Like Cocke 1 1
San Rafael, Calif. U.R) Two
ring experts predicted yesterday
that challenger Don Cockell will
give Heavyweight Champion
Rocky Marciano a "tough time"
in their title bout May 16 in San
Francisco.
Former featherweight, light
weight and welterweight cham
pion Henry Armstrong and Cali
fornia State Athletic Commis
sioner Joe Phillips watched
Cockell box five rounds Sunday
and were impressed by his
speed.
Has Seen Both
. Armstrong j - now an ordained
minister, said, "I have seen
Marciano box and I have watch
ed Cockell throw that left hand.
I'm-sure Marciano will have a
tough time with him and I think
Cockell may be successful in
winning the fight." .
Phillips echoed Armstrong.
"Cockell looks very good to
me," Phillips said. "Marciano
can be hit easily as it has been
proven in previous fights by Ez
zard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott
and Roland La Starza. He has a
fastpair of hands and it is pos
sible that this boy may take him,
although I'm not predicting that
the title will change hands."
Sole of Woman's
Shoe Aids Swaps
By RAY AYRES
Louisville, Ky. (U.R) A half
sole from a woman's shoe played
a major role in Swaps' stunning
victory in the richest Kentucky
Derby of them all.
Before shipping the handsome
chestnut colt back to California
Sunday, trainer M. A. Tenney re
vealed Swaps was nursing a ten
der right front foot only two
days before the Derby.
"I wanted to give hihi a good
workout just before the Derby,"
said Tenney, "but the foot hurt
him and we only let him gallop.
Later I pulled the shoe off end
reset a piece of leather it's
actually a half-sole from a wom
an's shoe under his hoof and
renailed the plate.
"I guess I got it set just right
because the foot didn't seem to
bother him after that," Tenney
added.

Chan Harper
Nabs Honors
In Colonial
By ED FITE
Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R) Chan
dler Harper, who won the $25,
000 Colonial National Invitation
golf tournament by the widest
margin in history with the only
72-hole sub-par golf, thinks the
PGA is giving him the "go-by"
in its records.
The 41-year-old Harper, who
calls Virginia home but who
plays out of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
pocketed a $5,000 first money
check for a four-under-par 276
in winning the Colonial Sunday
to give him a 69-stroke average
for the tourney and a whopping
eight-stroke lead over the field.
According to Harper's figures
that ran his season winnings to
$8,014 for six tournaments, but
the PGA says it's only $7664.
Also, according to the drawling
champion's figures, he's aver
aged 69.64 strokes per round for
22 rounds of golf, which would
put him in first place in the Var
don Trophy standings. But the
PGA doesn't even list him.
Harper wasn't even among
those getting passing mention
when pre-tojmament picks were
made for Colonial's rugged test.
But then neither was the man
who finished closest to him
young Dow Finsterwald of Bed
ford Heights. O., whose 36-38
74 on the final day put him at
284 and earned him $3,000.
Ed Oliver of Lemont, 111.,
tucked away a $2,000 check for
third money by finishing at 286
with a final day 36-36 72, while
five players each earned $1,430
for tying for fourth place at 287.
They were Julius Boros of Mid
Pines, N. C, Cary Middlecoff of
Memphis, Tenn., Fred Hawkins
